The Last Resort
Sandy Vangard
ISBN 978-1-925263-98-5
Dani is a strong, compassionate woman who has packed more into her 32 years than most people do on a lifetime. Still recovering from a loss, she finds old habits die hard.
She throws herself into her new job and takes every opportunity to connect with the community in which she has chosen to connect, a quiet beachside town named Thornley Harbour.
She is in her element, sharing her skills to bring people together, rallying when bushfires hit town or supporting people in an Alternative Care Home.
With a mix of human experiences fuelled by fire, surf, music and personal challenges, she discovers there’s more to life in this small beachside town than meets the eye.
Dani is unprepared for the impact of memories, and the growing attraction for a man struggling with his own demons.
Past actions come back to haunt the present and offer an opportunity to soothe the soul and create new beginnings.
With the embrace of intergenerational relationships, challenging stereotypes and the nurture of the bush and sea, will her empathy and understanding of human nature be in her best interests?
